The location of this apartment is away from the tourists hot spots. It's quiet, but has all the neighborhood amenities you will want (cafes, food markets, boulangeries, other retail stores-I bought a great pair of shoes just around the corner, transportation). The apartment has a great view of the Saint Martin Canal and is a short walk to Le Marais. If you are in the apartment long enough at any one time, don't miss watching a boat go through the locks right out the window. It's quite a sight to see. There is a cheese and wine shop on the street level right below the apartment. Ask Salim (the proprietor) to recommend some cheeses and wine to take upstairs to cap off your day. You will be glad you did.
For the apartment, it has a lot of positives and very few negatives. It's a good size for 3-4 people. There are two toilets, two bath rooms, two bedrooms and a large living room area. The kitchen is well euipped. We even made a Coq Au Vin one day during our stay and had all the necessary kitchen equipment for an easy prep/cook/cleanup process. You can get a nice cross breeze going when you open up the living room and bedroom(s) windows. This is good for ventilating the apartment and cooling it down at night. There are electronically-controlled roller shades on the exterior of most windows, which is great for sleeping. The building is secure with two fob entrances to pass through before getting to the elevator. The neighbors were friendly, but only saw a couple neighhors during our 2 week stay. The apartment above this one has a family with 4 small children living there. The children can make some rumbling noises from their running around for a couple hours each day, but it's obvious they go to school during the week and are in bed each night early (most nights even before we came back from our day out). We would stay in the apartment most days until around noon and the weekends were the only days that the noise from above was bothersome. I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything to the neighbors. I'm sure they are not aware of this issue. Just go out and enjoy the city and it won't be a problem. This was the only negative for an otherwise wonderful apartment and neighborhood experience. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a great week in Paris and the rather delightful apartment contributed in no small way. It is a great location with a good choice of restaurants on walking distance. We would certainly stay there again.

Respuesta de Pierre:

Dear Ian, Thank you very much for your review, I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay! See you soon

The flat was everything we'd hoped and more. It's a great space with a romantic view of the canal below. All the doors open allowing a warm breeze through the apartment. It was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is hip and we found many good restaurants. Close to the metro and many shops and food vendors. Pierre was a responsive host.
